You shouldn't expect centralised organisations, be it companies or governments, to be good at implementing or even supporting decentralised solutions. That's just Conway's law [1] at work.

That's why decentralised solutions are shared, implemented bottom-up by communities of practice.

This is also why decentralised solutions are hard to monetise.

TL;DR: Decentralised solutions work best when they are open source, open hardware, run in cooperative ways.
